Teleste is to introduce two new 1.2GHz distribution amplifiers at this year’s ANGA COM event.
The company says the AC1500 and AC2500 amplifiers offer flexible management and improved ingress control that result in increased operational savings for operators.
Consumer demand for faster broadband connections continues to increase and requires operators to invest further in network capacity.
Supporting capacities of 10 Gbit/s downstream and 1Gbit/s upstream, the upcoming DOCSIS 3.1 standard will allow operators to greatly enhance their networks’ performance. However, despite growing capacities, broadband services are far too often disrupted by noise that degrades the quality of services and irritates end-users. To increase customer satisfaction and reduce churn, it is of great advantage to operators if they can control service distruptions and block ingress noise from spreading around their networks.
Both amplifiers can be equipped with Teleste’s Remote Ingress Switching (RIS) system that allows low-cost ingress detection and countermeasures at the headend. For a broader range of management features, the amplifiers can also be equipped with intelligent transponders with comprehensive measuring capabilities, and programmable signal and ingress monitoring.
